=Mini-Mission 1: Advocating and Implementing Project Based Learning= Students retain the knowledge longer by being active and engaged participants. The students create their own connections with real life applications. Math & Science: How much energy is in the gidgetbytes? How much is needed to get the ship home? They would need to know the mass, distance, fuel consumption. (MPG) The students would present that to the coaches and leaders of Antique. Social Studies: While we were there, they did a cross-cultural study of the Antiquans compared to us Americans. They need to create a plan of action on bringing their culture/future generations up to speed. What changes need to be made?
